Facebook Purges Over 800 Accounts w/Millions Of Followers; Prominent Conservatives Vanish

This is unbelievable.....
"Just in time for midterms, Facebook has removed 559 pages and 251 accounts they claim have been spreading misinformation and spam. Several of the pages however - some with millions of followers, were pro-Trump conservatives who had spent years cultivating their followings.
Facebook has unpublished our page
After 5 years of building fans Facebook has officially unpublished our page (3.1 million fans) so we can't post on it anymore. This is truly an outrage and we are devastated. We will do everything we can to recover our page and fight back. pic.twitter.com/H3AmHTT8Qo

I’ve been memory holed from FaceBook! 350k followers poof gone! There is a dangerous precedent being set here where the big tech companies have appointed themselves as the gate keepers of political thought and opinion! Retweet this if you care about free-speech! #FreeDicks pic.twitter.com/LsnZvaJyOL

Our @facebook page with over 2.1 million followers has been unpublished, along with over 800 other pages and accounts. The purge of alt-media is upon us. pic.twitter.com/6Q2oswVpBI

Facebook claims that "domestic actors" have been creating "fake pages and accounts to attract people with shocking political news," reports Bloomberg."

These are the PRO net neutrality lobbyists folks. Pay attention.

Yet people will only report it on TD.
Meanwhile, those clowns were sitting inFRONT of the committee saying "no way, we don't censor anyone! Pinky swear!"

Sounds about right.

More like platform owners moderating their platform that they own. Why is it that people think Freedom of Speech means you can say whatever you want whenever you want and everyone else has to put up with it? If someone owns a website, they don't owe you shite. Especially if you aren't paying for the use of said website. Why do you all hate private industries doing what they choose to do? Why do you want the government meddling in their affairs? Controlling them?
Oh and also, ZeroHedge is a shite source. Fix yourself.

Can’t stop the signal.
For one thing, I think the Dems have already fricked themselves so badly that there isn’t much most conservatives could do to hurt them.

Nice well thought out legitimate rebuttal

It's almost as if they own a website and have ultimate discretion over what's posted on there. Maybe the selfloathing Peter Thiel will create an online safe space for conservatives. Conservatives love a free market, and market based solutions. Build your own if you mad

But muh freedom of speech! Cuckerberg can't silence us! That's against the constitution!

Some of those like Free Thought Project and Cop Block, 2 I followed, were VERY liberal.....basically communist/anarchist.

It's not just conservative sites, though. For example.. pages dedicated to "policing the police" got the same treatment.
Also the FTP has a horrendously bad fact checking record.

John Galt would just put up his own site.

Corporate cocksuckers will say they should just go spin up their own multibillion dollar social media giant.
